Girls Varsity Basketball vs Grace Brethren

January 11, 2017

Cate’s girls varsity basketball team struggled in a home contest against Grace Brethren on Tuesday, January 10. The Lancers, who currently sit as the #2 ranked team in Division 6, flexed their muscle early en route to a 62-25 win.

Grace put a very different team on the floor than they have in the past, who were quite talented and athletic. The Rams prepared for as much, but failed to execute. Most of the game saw Cate playing with hesitation against the larger Lancer lineup. The Rams had a much better finish to the game than their start, but the 27 point deficit they created in the first half was a hard one to come back from.

Maya Blattberg ’20 played well in the post and finished the game with 8 points. Amber Thiery ’17 ran the point position and also scored 8 points. Georgie Douglas ’19 had two beautiful put backs on rebounds for a total of 4 points. Mariam Soliman ’18, Kaliyah Dorsey ’18, and Laura Vences ’18 played strong until the final horn and had 2 points each. Elle Smith ’19 chipped in with one point.

Cate is back in action on Thursday, January 12 at Villanova. That contest will tip off at 7pm.
